I figured out what's going on. The .Net implementations at least are using port 443. Globus defaults to 8443. Could everyone perhaps make a point of including explicit port numbers in they're service URLs? The problem as I understand it is this: *Nix machines have a port restriction on low ports, which makes it impossible to start a web service container on 443 without it being run as root. Windows has no such restriction. So while 443 is technically the standard for https, non-.Net web service containers conventionally use 8080 for http and 8443 for https transport so that non-root users can stand up containers.

I was actually referring to using GET instead of POST and I wasn't sure if your client initially does a GET to check the WSDL (or something).

I seem to be the only one assuming 8443 instead of 443, so don't worry about my request for explicit port numbers.
